The fatwa (definition) concerning the permissibility of eating imported meats—such as products from Burger company—depends on knowing whether the conditions for slaughter have been met. If there is no knowledge of the slaughter method, then the default ruling for slaughtered animals is prohibition. It is not permissible to eat from them unless you receive authentic information about the slaughter method from a trustworthy Muslim or from the slaughterer himself, whether Muslim or from the People of the Book.
